W.S.G.A. Accepts Complete Report on Point System
Dorothy Arnold Submit
Revised Plan Which
Is Protective
Measure
NOT ON HONOR BASIS
A complete and final report on the revision of the point system of the W. S. G. A, as submitted by Dorothy Arnold, c23, point system manager, was accepted by the W. S. G. A. at its regular meeting last night.
The purpose of the point system, as explained by this organization, is a protective rather than a restrictive measure, with an aim to further democracy by giving more and broader representation in activities. In form, its purpose is stated as being "(1) To protect the health and scholarship of capable women who are called upon to do more than their strength allows, and,
"(2) To give opportunity for more girls to have the training and fellowship which participation in campus activities offers."
Helen Heaston, fa 32, president,
stressed that the points are established
on a proportionate basis, that is in pro-
portion to the amount of work;
work responsibility involved; and
on a comparative basis with all other
activities represented in the system. It
is not, she explained, a basis of honor
that is appropriate for checking
up activities for limitation.
The revised chart of activities with the respective points given for membership in each one is given in detail as follows:
